Watch hours 💙

Now that you're really aware of what you have to do, I'm sure you can do it or at least make it so it's not as big a setback. I think a time budget video is a great idea since it's something we can all use more of. My suggestions are consider doing a financial budget video, too. You've got 5 kids and dogs and a husband - show how much you spend on groceries each month. Lives are supposed to have mistakes, that's part of the fun. Looking forward to seeing it all.

I think I will do a video trying to figure out my time. I hadn't considered doing a financial budget video but I can see how that would be interesting! 🤔 I've got my background all set up for a LIVE tonight, hopefully 🤞 it goes decent. Tonights live will be about books!

Hi Laura! Watching what I missed in the beginning from the premiere. Wow yes your hours will take a bit of a dive after your big March video. However as you saw that video could definitely take off again. For live streams you can take a break to blow your nose or something, mute the microphone, etc. There is a way to put in a "commercial break" with a graphic and even copyright free music so you can mute but I think most people do that from Streamyard. A day in the life does sound interesting. Some people even vlog from their car (while parked!) like while waiting to pick up a child or something. Good luck! 💕

[@laurawooten22]

Thanks for the tips Jessie! I have never heard of anyone doing a commercial break during them 🤔 That sounds like it could be good.. and I didn't think about muting the mic 😂 I did think about the car, and may end up doing it that way tomorrow if the house is too loud.

@@laurawooten22 you're welcome. I have seen my friend Nora from The Stock Explorer put up a "be right back" graphic. She has dogs and sometimes they get into something. I don't know how to do it though. Even if you mute the microphone it's fine. And pets and kids make noises in live streams a lot, it's the reality of going live. I don't think you'd need to do the live in the car but I don't know your situation lol.

You can join a playlist group. Alyssa is in one if your interested. You run someone’s playlist at night on your computer while you sleep. Also post on your community tab (on both your channels if possible) asking your friends to run playlists for you.

[@laurawooten22]

I will think about it. Thanks for letting me know.

[@FavoritesWithLaura]

Great strategy and yeah, it's so time-consuming and I get too in my head myself.

[@laurawooten22]

Thanks for watching Laura! I agree, it can be very time consuming.

[@LauraWootenReviews]

Good luck 😊

[@punctuationprecise]

Did you comment on your own video from your other channel to increase the engagement? I guess that's another strategy

[@kristiepope8254]

How many hours are needed right now?

[@laurawooten22]

Still about the same, 1800.

[@kristiepope8254]

@@laurawooten22 I’ll run as many hours as I can. Hopefully some more friends can help out. Does your mom have a computer, she can run your videos too. I also run some on my smart tv if Troy’s not watching lol.

@@kristiepope8254 She does when she can. She also helps out other friends on YT as well.

[@thefunkycold1]

Shorts should totally count towards watch time hours and YT counting it as a rolling year towards your total is also unfair. I didn't know either of those things.

[@laurawooten22]

I was really bummed to see the Shorts didn't count to watch time and then to see how many views you have to get in such a short time is also discouraging.
